I called up Zubair and fixed up the dates. He answered all my queries patiently. The experience was phenomenal for us as beginners. The instructors irshad and Shabbir were very professional and more importantly, very patient. They guaged our level properly and gave us individual coaching. Towards the end we were able to ski down from the gondola all in the span of 5 days.
If you want to experience proper skiing and certain other snowy adventures
these guys are the go to people. We were kept comfortable through out the journey ,they sorted us out with hotels and cabs and anything else we needed.
Lastly. Their hospitality is just unparalleled. I haven't seen another bunch of people as nice as you find in gulmarg. Screw the bullcrap that the media spouts people..just go to Kashmir...ITS SAFE.

Irshad is a fantastic guide, able to anticipate the snow conditions on different part of the mountains and expert at calculating the hike / descent (reward) ratio. Gulmarg is a phenomenal place to explore, at altitude you are surrounded by the Himalayas. It’s like they’re at eye level. Nanga Parbat watches you as you fly down the valley. It is an exceptional experience and I cannot recommend Irshad enough. I cannot wait to return.

Amazing coaches with handholding approach since day one.
A great overall experience. Coach Irshad was always there for me since day one of my snowboarding career. We need more like him at the winter paradise in Kashmir.

Perfect service, fair prices, safe skiing. Everything was fine in Gulmarg, instead of snow conditions this year. But we were fully satisfied with Himalayan Ski Guides.

I just finished my second (and definitely not my last ) trip to Gulmarg. Irshaad, Zubair and the rest of the team helped plan out the entire visit--car transfers from airport, hotel, rental skis, and guide--despite limited Internet access in Gulmarg (although there was Internet when I was there Jan. 25-27, there hadn't been for several months prior). The snow this year is sensational, and I had two great powder days (and given how few people are currently skiing/riding in Gulmarg, the fresh powder lasts for several days at a time).
After reading about the India Government's security crack-down in Srinagar this summer I was slightly nervous, but several friends assured me it was safe, and after visiting I realized that there is likely no safer place for a tourist these days -- there's a heightened military presence in Srinagar and I felt especially safe for the entire journey.

We were in Gulmarg in February 2019. Due to unexpected circumstances we had to plan our trip extremely short term. Irshad, Zubair and Shabir from Himalayan Ski Guides supported us tremendously. They arranged the transport and accommodation within a very short time and provided us with all the information we needed. They were very flexible and were able to respond to all our requests or show us good alternatives.
All this was always very friendly and unbureaucratic, but at the same time absolutely reliable.
Both Shabir and Irshad were with us as guides in the terrain and both were always very focused, motivated and eager to show us good lines in the incredibly varied terrain of Gulmarg.
In the end we had not only enjoyed a wonderful trip... we had made new friends.

It is indeed difficult to arrange for a great back country trip if you are not familiar with the area you are visiting specially when it is a foreign country far, far away... We took the chance with the Himalayan Ski Guides and had a wonderful experience! Everything they said in the e-mail and phone correspondence prior to this trip was truthful and honest. From fees, terrain, transport, guiding, hotel, meals and most of all, human touch, everything came to pass with greatest marks. We landed in Srinagar where a driver and an airport helper were waiting for us. The hotel (Rosewood, Gulmarg) was the best in the area. Our ski guide Sabir was mature, stable, highly professional and knowledgeable individual who kept us safe and happy guiding us trough the beautiful foothills of the Indian Himalayas. If you are among those few people on the planet who love back country skiing while traveling to India, I would highly recommend that you give them a call.

I had an amazing time in Gulmarg. Irshad Bhai is a great coach, with his guidance I reached Chairlift in day 4 and was able to do the entire run in 20 mins, which I thought would be impossible in first season.

Gulmarg in February 2023, thanks to his dedicated support, I was able to enjoy skiing very much. It was also very helpful that he supported my son’s first skiing. He is a very kind and great guide. My Gulmarg was very meaningful because of his support.
